2. george estimates that each bale of hay in his field weighs 62.5 pounds on
average. there are 892 bales to be picked up. if his truck can carry 8 tons on
one trip, how many trips will he have to make to move his bales?

4 trips

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 892 bales of hay

each one weighs about 62.5 pounds

892 * 62.5 = 55,750

George's truck can only carry 8 tons

1 ton = 2,000 pounds

2,000 * 8 = 16,000 pounds

So,

55,750 / 16,000 = 3.484375

But since you can't make 3.484375 trips in a truck, round it up.

3.484375 rounded up equals 4

George has to take 4 trips

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130
